SonicAire Engineered Fan Systems
Get the Only Custom-Designed Dust Control Fan Systems that Guarantee Compliance
You Don’t Need a Fan. You Need an Intentionally Designed Fan System.
The Problem With "Just Add Fans"
Installing standard industrial fans in your ceiling may seem like a simple solution to dust control, but it can actually exacerbate your problems.
Random fan placement can:
- Create turbulence that disperses dust to new areas
- Leave dead zones where dust continues to accumulate
- Waste energy through inefficient coverage and inadequate fan speed
- Miss critical areas that need protection
- Fail to meet safety compliance requirements
Every facility has unique airflow patterns, dust characteristics, and structural challenges. Without proper engineering, you risk investing in equipment that doesn’t solve your dust problem at all.
Why Facilities Like Texas Tissue Turn to SonicAire for Dust Control
If you run a manufacturing or processing facility, you’ve likely tried various approaches to control dust accumulation. As Texas Tissue’s Technical Director, Angelo DeGemmis discovered, not all solutions are created equal.
“In the beginning, we were trying to manage this dust problem with some other kind of overhead fan that was very noisy; [it] was not giving me the correct flow, was not powerful, and was always leaving dust in many hiding spots around the machines. And it complicated our lives on keeping our environment safe. Because, you know, this kind of flammable dust can cause problems all over the place. And just a little spark can cause a big problem.”
That’s where SonicAire comes in. For over 20 years, we have helped facilities like yours prevent dust from accumulating. Our dust control fans are engineered to work seamlessly with your unique environment, allowing your team to spend less time cleaning and more time producing.
As DeGemmis notes: “One of the main issues regarding quality is the fact that there’s a lot of dust accumulation in hard-to-reach areas. Now, with the fans, we’re able to continuously mitigate the dust accumulation. And, because of their performance, we no longer have to hire a third party to come with a scissor lift, creating safety hazards to blow down the plant.”
The result? A precisely engineered system that provides maximum dust control effectiveness while meeting your facility’s specific requirements.
Key Benefits:
- Custom Design: Solutions tailored to your facility’s exact specifications
- Comprehensive Analysis: Detailed evaluation of dust type and facility configuration
- Professional Installation: SonicAire can install the system and train your staff
- Optimal Performance: Guaranteed effectiveness through strategic fan placement

Industry-Specific Solutions
Every facility presents unique challenges, but all effective dust control solutions share three critical engineering requirements:
Selecting the Right Fan
We test your specific dust characteristics if sent a sample, facility environment, and operational needs to determine the optimal fan configuration. This includes evaluating:
- Dust particle size, moisture level, weight, and behavior
- Ambient temperature requirements and humidity levels
- Space constraints and clearances
- Operational conditions
- Environmental factors
Strategic Fan Placement
Proper spacing and positioning are crucial for system effectiveness. Our engineers consider:
- Facility layout and dimensions
- Airflow patterns and thermal currents
- Equipment locations and obstructions
- Production requirements
- Coverage overlap requirements
Mounting Solution Design
The proper mounting configuration ensures both effectiveness and safety. We specify:
- Structural requirements
- Vibration considerations
- Access for maintenance
- Clearance requirements
- Integration with existing systems

Custom Solutions for Complex Challenges
As a manufacturer that produces 90% of its semi-custom boats in-house, Viking Yachts faces diverse dust challenges from both wood and fiberglass operations. SonicAire’s engineered solution accommodates multiple dust types and varying facility designs within a single, comprehensive system.
“We’ve worked closely with the engineers at SonicAire to develop customized layouts for industrial dust control fans at Viking Yachts. Their staff is knowledgeable and dedicated to meeting our needs. Each target area of our facility has unique characteristics, and SonicAire has addressed the differences in operations and building designs. Using their fans helps keep the housekeeping on the ground where it is easier, cheaper, and ultimately safer to clean than high surfaces.” — Jeff Staub, Environmental Compliance Manager, Viking Yachts
Flexible Implementation for Your Needs
When KATERRA needed a dust control solution, SonicAire’s engineers created a comprehensive design that could be implemented in phases. Starting with just two fans, the team collaborated closely with KATERRA to develop an adaptable plan that effectively managed their dust while respecting budget constraints. As the facility’s needs evolved, SonicAire continued fine-tuning the system for maximum efficiency.
“It wasn’t a typical sales interaction where you’re handed a fan and never hear from the company again. From the beginning, SonicAire genuinely wanted to understand our facility, what we do, what we struggle with, and what their fans would need to accommodate.” — Cory Frashefski, KATERRA
